A. Please don't overfill the skip, as we may be unable to take it away. If in doubt, order a skip one size larger than you might be tempted to hire, as this may be more economical than paying for another skip and the added cost of a call-out for a wasted journey if our driver finds that he cannot take the skip away due to overfilling. One thing about waste is that you will always have more than you think! No waste should be over the top of the skip. It must be level. If it’s over, we can’t collect it, and you may have to pay a wasted journey fee.

A. Skips are hired out for 7 days. However, depending on availability, individual requirements can be accommodated. Skips will be collected after 7 days unless you contact our office to extend the hire. Please let us know if you would like the skip collected earlier, and we will arrange for its collection.

A. You can have it dropped on your driveway, garden, or building site—any privately owned land. Please ensure that your driveway, etc., will support the weight of our lorries, as we can't be responsible for broken slabs, overhanging wires, etc., caused by your instructions. Heavy skips can damage asphalt driveways. Please cover the area with plywood or other protective material to prevent damage if you want the skip placed on it. If you require a permit, you must obtain one first (e.g., if the skip is going into a parking space on a street). We can assist with this if required.
